Why Hydrogen Peroxide Should Be Monitored for Worker Safety in Aseptic Packaging

Hydrogen peroxide gas is a strong oxidizing agent and very effective biocide yet it is environmentally friendly since it rapidly breaks down to oxygen and water leaving no harmful residues. This high reactivity means that if hydrogen peroxide vapor is inhaled there is a significant risk of harm to those people exposed.

Why Monitor Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in healthcare, and food processing as an antimicrobial and sterilant chemical. Hydrogen peroxide is very effective since it is a strong oxidizing agent, it rapidly breaks down to oxygen and water so there are no harmful residues. If hydrogen peroxide vapor is inhaled or the liquid is ingested, there is a risk of harm to those people exposed.

Badges versus Continuous Monitoring

Continuous monitors are now available for over twenty compounds and growing, because of their vast improvement in safety and reliability and have almost entirely displaced badges, except for a few chemicals for which continuous monitors are yet not available. As a result, badges are almost never used in industries where a focus on safety is essential.

Chemical sterilizers should not leak toxic vapors, but sometimes they do.

The Myths of Sterilant Gas Safety Exposed

Sterilization is of vital importance in healthcare and while steam and heat provide reliable service for the majority of medical supplies, chemical sterilants and especially gas sterilants are the main methods used for those medical devices and supplies which are heat- and moisture-sensitive.

Risk Assessment of Occupational Exposure from Peracetic Acid

Peracetic acid (PAA), also known as peroxyacetic acid is widely used in healthcare, food preparation and food and beverage packaging among other industries as a disinfectant
and liquid sterilant. PAA is a strong oxidant and primary irritant and as with all chemical sterilants, there is a risk of occupational exposure.

Hazard Communication

29 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication Standard requires chemical manufacturers or importers to classify the hazards of chemicals which they produce or import and employers must provide information to their employees about the hazardous chemicals to which they are exposed, by means of a hazard communication program, labels and other forms of warning, safety data sheets, and information and training.

Understanding OSHA's Exposure Monitoring Requirements

OSHA's cooperative programs helps encourage, assist and recognize the efforts of partners to eliminate serious workplace hazards and achieve a high level of employee safety and health.
